What's included in the trial?

I’m a San Francisco-based technical founder specializing in early- and mid-stage startups full-time since 2012. I've had a chance to take a YC-backed EdTech company from zero to acquisition over the course of a decade. I've also run all sort of wild and wacky startups including an a16z-backed game studio.
Some of my projects ended up surviving and thriving, but many more cratered and fizzled out. Either way, I got amazing lessons out of all of those that I'm happy to share.
I love to mentor and advise people going through the early stage startup rollercoaster, help them succeed while not losing their marbles. It's my way of paying it forward. Cofounder troubles, how to CTO, business model woes, the product-market fit mirage, fundraising and pitching, technical dilemmas and morale swamps are my bread and butter. I'd be happy to help you navigate those labyrinths with the perspective of someone who's been through all of them, several times.
